London Pride Parade & Float 2026
37 people attending
3 places left
Pride season is back – and this year, we’re celebrating in style. It’s our 20th Anniversary, and we’re bringing an OutdoorLads float to the party. 🚩
Pride in London is the biggest in the UK and one of the largest LGBT+ events in the world. With over a million people attending last year, it’s safe to say it’s kind of a big deal – and in 2026, OutdoorLads will be right in the heart of it all.
Whether you’re into hiking, hostelling, kayaking, cycling, camping, bouldering or climbing, this is your invitation to grab your red t-shirt and join us on the march. It’s your chance to show your pride, celebrate being part of OutdoorLads, and let London see how we #GetOutMore.
Marching at Pride is something special – the atmosphere, the crowds, the iconic London backdrop… it’s hard not to get swept up in it and in our anniversary year, it’s the perfect moment to showcase who we are, encourage new members, and celebrate everything OutdoorLads stands for.
So come and be part of it – bring your energy, your pride, and maybe your best dance moves🕺
Can’t make the parade? Come along and cheer us on from the sidelines, then join us afterwards for a drink and the celebrations.

What to bring
Wear your red ODL t-shirt, shorts and footwear comfortable to walk in. Rainbow face paints and environmentally friendly glitter for beards always go down well!!! ODL and/or rainbow flags would also be great.
If you don't have a red ODL shirt then the office can send one out for £10 inc P&P. Alternatively you can ask on the telegram channel to see if someone can loan you one OR come in any outdoor clothing, preferably with a red top.
Outdoor props are always welcome (e.g. climbing racks & helmets, walking poles, kayak paddles etc) though ensure you're happy to carry them for the entire parade and consider what you'll do with them afterwards! As we have a float we are also able to have up to 6 cyclists join our parade so if you have a bike and fancy riding it through central London for pride bring it with you.
Food & drink
Glass is not allowed in the parade zone so any liquids should be in a plastic bottle or can. Ensure you bring plenty of water as it can be a very long day in the sun
PLEASE NOTE: Marshals will remove any person who is drunk (or under the influence of drugs) so please do not drink in excess before the start. We will go to a pub afterwards! :)
